a home for living in

Stylist, editor, and designer, Sarah Alba, had her home featured in Apartment Therapy. It is a lovely example of how a family can live comfortably and stylishly on a budget. She uses affordable furnishings from some of my favorite national retailers — Crate&Barrel, Pottery Barn, IKEA, West Elm, and Serena & Lily — but mixes different styles together so it doesn’t look off-the-shelf. An eclectic mix of baskets, boxes, and shelving help corral the clutter throughout the home and keep it casual. The look is livable, welcoming, and elegant. Can you tell they have a dog, too?
